Welcome to the research site Sonzogno Digital Catalog – 1885 Sample.

This site was created in 2013 thanks to a research fund granted by the Florida State University. It features the first example of a transnational metadata gathering effort performed on the output of Milanese publisher Sonzogno (no historical catalog exists for Sonzogno, nor is there any official bibliographic information before 1943).

(More information about the creation of this sample can be found here).

The data available here refer to the titles published by Sonzogno in 1885. You can search the data by Title and by Author, or browse the collection in its entirety to get an overview of the variety and quantity of texts published by Edoardo Sonzogno and his Stabilimento during 1885, that is, a year among the most productive of this publisher.

We invite visitors to take advantage of the data gathered here in the way that is most useful to them. We also urge everyone to send us additional Sonzogno records from 1885 not available here, details on individual entries, and/or comments that can help us correct errors and improve this resource.
